IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read the following information carefully before bidding.

 

Consignments &  Administration Office 24 Newnham Street, Bedford, MK40 3JR

Wednesday prior 12noon - 4pm

One important difference between an auction and a retail shop is that all goods are sold as seen. Lots could have faults or missing parts so it is very important that you carefully inspect items you are interested in buying before the sale takes place. There are no guarantees given when buying at auction. The absence of a condition report does not constitute a guarantee.

A buyers’ premium at 20% +VAT, will be added to the bid price of each lot for this sale.

Some Lots may incur VAT on the hammer price, these will be noted +VAT within each Lot description.

We regret that we are unable to process requests for condition reports received after 1.00pm on the day preceding the sale.

Access to the saleroom is by catalogue only, priced at £10.00 (admits two).
Identification may be required, and the auctioneers reserve the right to refuse access at their discretion.

Collection of lots purchased are at the designated times and locations as follows :

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday post sale 9am - 3pm
Consignments & Administration Office 24 Newnham Street, Bedford, MK40 3JR
